From time to time, I'll get an e-mail forwarded to me that's a whole big list of supposed facts. The first time I got one of them years ago, I naively believed every one of them. But I'm older and wiser, now, so I know that most of the time, they're either flat out wrong, or distortions of the truth. I've researched a few of these lists. The results of that research are linked to below.
